Bug#273234: (no subject)
I have the exact same problem with the same model.
Using a pre-rc2 or nightly build with kernel 2.6 I could do a complete
installation, but
then it freezes during boot.
The symptons and error messages seems to identical to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2004/09/msg00414.html
and if that's true I will have to agree with the author of the above bug
report:
"What I _really_ do not understand is why this is not seen as a serious problem."
But maybe when Dell's new model start to flood the PC market that will
change ;)
Meanwhile I guess my best option is to buy a PATA harddrive.
